Post-Tension Cable Mapping in Kitimat, BC
Post-tension cables hold a slab in compression under enormous force. Cutting or coring through one releases that force suddenly — a serious safety hazard that can compromise the structure. Post-tension mapping locates the cables precisely so penetrations avoid them entirely.

Kitimat's construction is mostly slab-on-grade, tilt-up commercial and low- to mid-rise reinforced concrete, with parkades and suspended slabs on its larger buildings. Concrete scanning in Kitimat is most often needed before drilling, cutting, anchoring and coring on slabs, walls and commercial floors — locating rebar, conduit and any post-tension before the work.
- Post-tension cables and tendons
- Cable drape and profile through the slab
- Rebar and conduit alongside the tendons
- Safe penetration zones between cables
Coring/cutting contractors and structural engineers map PT cables before work on post-tensioned floors so no penetration ever strikes a tendon.
